Chris Boardman is one of Britain's most high-profile cyclists. He won a gold medal at the Olympics in 1992, and in 1994 became the first British rider since Tommy Simpson in 1967 to wear the race leader's yellow jersey in the Tour de France. He lives on the Wirral, Merseyside, with his wife and six children.

Worth a read is Chris Boardman's new autobiography: 'Triumphs and Turbulence: My Autobiography', which came out in June 2016
